You can't use an internal API when developing an app with the Android
SDK.

Google strongly discourages the use of internal APIs for several
reasons, among them the likelihood that the APIs will change in the
future, leaving your app out in the cold.

P.S. Diane H. always beats me to answering the popular internal-API

complete!
